Part of Take Me Somewhere Festival, 15 to 26 October
Presented by Tramway
21 October 7 to 8pm
22 October 6.15 to 7.15pm
Regina Caeli explores a life lived together; framed by funeral rituals, a dodgy children’s choir and the music of Eric Carmen.
Artist Lucy Gaizely asks Gary Gardiner, her partner of 23 years, to collaborate in crafting a posthumous finale for her recently deceased father, an activity which also maps the trajectory of their relationship. What follows is an eruptive dissection of time-served love. Regina Caeli questions how we hold each other’s fragility, grow together, and endure hard things, and asks whether love is just a choreographed set of virtuosic movements carrying us from birth to death.
An immersive audience experience, Regina Caeli uses spatial audio technology to recreate the movements of Heavenly objects, euphoric joy and the Fear of God coupled with an AI generated dance dialogue creating autonomous and complex movement simulations representing our past, present, and future selves.
Illuminating a real life couple through choreography borne of dependency, grief and rage, Regina Caeli is an apoplectic sermon, a one sided eulogy where the dead have no right to reply.
